Meowdoku Level 752 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 1: Mark X at R1 C1, R1 C2, and R1 C3: a region is locked to this row
The yellow region must use row 1. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 2: Mark X at R5 C4, R5 C5, and R5 C6 + 9 more: rows or columns are reserved
The yellow, blue, pink, brown, and orange regions must use columns 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 3: Mark X at R8 C6: rows or columns are reserved
The yellow, blue, pink, brown, and orange regions must use columns 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 4: Mark X at R2 C5: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for column 4 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 5: Mark X at R3 C3: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the pink region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 6: Mark X at R1 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the yellow region. That assumption would leave the pink region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 7: Mark X at R3 C5: rows or columns are reserved

Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 9: Mark X at R3 C7: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for column 6 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 10: Mark X at R1 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the yellow region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 11: Mark X at R1 C8: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the yellow region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 12: Place cat at R1 C5: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The yellow region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 13: Mark X at R4 C3: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the pink region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 14: Mark X at R4 C7: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for column 6 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 15: Mark X at R2 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the magenta region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 16: Mark X at R2 C2: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the rose region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 17: Mark X at R6 C3: a region is locked to this column
The teal region must use column 3. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 18: Mark X at R5 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave Column 6 with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 752 Step 19: Mark X at R7 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the magenta region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
